The past few tumultuous weeks in American politics have revealed a sharp split within the normally unified Republican ranks. This rift is playing out most directly on the issue of Donald Trump’s impeachment, but has much deeper roots.
Elements of this rift could be seen throughout the Trump presidency, with most Republican officeholders and party leaders enthusiastically endorsing pretty much any claim that Trump made, no matter how false or inane. Only a tiny number most notably, Sens. Mitt Romney and Jeff Flake spoke up. But this latter group seems to have found a stronger voice since the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
